ladylostris | More Harry Potter movie stuff (Reply)

Something else I've remembered about the movie. It suddenly struck me about all the angstiness Harry's going to have to endure in the future, moreso than anything else has, even the books which I know are darker and angstier. I don't even remember what part of the movie it was that did it. Maybe it was the line where Rita Skeeter was asking Harry something about his parents (and skewing the truth, of course). Now that I think about it, I think it was the part where Moody was demonstrating the Unforgiveable Curses, and shows them Avada Kedavra, and then says that only one person is knonwn to have survived it, obviously meaning Harry. It was at that moment when I realized (which I'd never done before) that not only does Harry now know that Voldemort killed his parents and tried to kill him, he also knows what curse he used to do it, and has seen it happen. I can't imagine being a 14-year-old and having such a thing happen to me.

I've just had a thought. Sometimes movie adaptations of books can add to the understanding of the book, because you get to see it. You also get to see someone else's interpretation of the book, and oftentimes that will also increase your understanding of it.

And on a note that really has very little to do with Harry Potter: King Kong? Looks better than I thought it would be. (So shinyyyyyyyy. Plus it's Peter Jackson, which is really good in its favor.)
